Hi.

Thank you for your interest in Demeter.

We are still offering Demeter/C++ on the WWW but we have shifted
all our resources to developing and supporting Demeter/Java.

We strongly recommend that you use Demeter/Java to learn about 
Adaptive Programming.
This has the following advantages for you:

1. Demeter/Java is much more in tune with object-oriented modeling than
   Demeter/C++. A powerful way of composing behavior is through
   visitor object composition. This is an important new feature of
   Demeter/Java.
2. The syntax is _much_ simpler in Demeter/Java. The behavior
   language is a small extension to Java.
3. Demeter/Java runs everywhere since it is written in Java.
   It has been successfully used with Windows/NT, Windows 95, Solaris,
   SUNOS, Linux.  Demeter/Java is distributed with source code.

I have read the book on Demeter and looked over the materials that I can
find via the internet. I have a project that I would like to try it on.
Unfortunately,  my project is C++ under MS-Windows (various versions
involved), and I see only a mention that Demeter tools for that arena
may be forthcoming.

Can you offer any additional information on if/when such things will be
available?  My work is small-time but commercial, so I wouldn't mind too
much the cost of a license for a reasonably-priced commercial product,
if that is a timely option.   I notice that most of the materials posted
on the internet are fairly old to be current (2 or more years).  I
wonder if the work on Demeter is still progressing or if it has been
shifted to some commercial emphasis.
